CORNEILLE DE LYON
(b. 1500/10, The Hague, d. after 1574, Lyon)

Portrait of a Lady

c. 1560
Oil on panel, 19 x 15 cm
Private collection

The sitter of this portrait, depicted half length, wearing black with white sleeves and a black bonnet, is said to be Marie de Batarnay, the wife of René de Batarnay, Count of Bouchage. However, compared with other existing portraits of this couple, this identification is doubtful.
